The Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions Week 12 NFL Picks NFL Betting spread is Green Bay -11 at SBGGlobal.com.

Free Sports Picks Analysis: Green Bay is  better on both sides of the football, offense (#8-#24) and defense (#12-#32). Detroit will be without their solid rookie starting QB Matthew Stafford and could also be missing star WR Calvin Johnson. In place of Stafford will be washed up Lions QB Daunte Culpepper who is a poor decision maker and should throw a pick or two against the Packers playmaking secondary. Green Bay is excellent against the run on D and should be able to put Detroit on their heels early with their balanced offensive attack led by QB Aaron Rodgers (2788 pass yds, 19-5 ratio, 102.6 rating) and RB Ryan Grant (977 yds, 4.4 ypc, 5 td, 1 fum). Rodgers has a poor O-line and holds the ball too long but he will have a big day against the Lions weak pass-defense.

Detroit’s defense does not have enough talent to keep up with Rodgers and a Pack offense that should put up 30+ points. The Lions offense showed promise last week against Cleveland but with their two best playmakers out they will be shut down. The Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions Week 12 NFL Picks NFL Betting Total is at 47.5 points.
